Nepal Flood: Army Deployed To Assist And Evacuate Residents Triggered By Untimely Monsoon Rain
Displaced Nepali residents living along the riverbanks in the Kathmandu Valley carry their essentials and move to higher grounds after their houses get flooded due to the continued influence of moisture-laden monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal, which triggers heavy rainfall resulting in inundation in parts of the Himalayan nation, on October 4, 2025. In Nepal, the monsoon is particularly influenced by the Bay of Bengal, making it a major driver of monsoon-related disasters. During the four months of the monsoon season from June to September, Nepal typically receives around 80% of its annual average rainfall of 1,600 mm, sometimes reaching up to 1,800 mm. Nepal ranks second after Bangladesh in South Asia and 20th globally in multi-hazard disaster risk. According to the 2019 Asian Development Bank report, floods alone cause an average annual loss exceeding USD 140 million, accounting for 1.4% of Nepal's GDP. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
